I love lullabies. One of these days I'd love to have an album of music for sleeping, but until then I decided to write a lullaby for my sweetheart.

It's sle-e-epytime, beddy-bye time
Lay your head down to sleep
Close your sweet eyes, dream of soft kisses
Walking along with me

Your cats curl up, with barely a twitch
That's how that you know it's a dream
No cats in your tub or digs at your rugs
They just want to warm your cold feet

We'll walk hand in hand, in our New Orleans
A future that's more than a dream
Sun nips our cheeks, warms us to our knees
As we lay our seed down to sleep.

Lay down on the planks. Gaze up at the shanks
Of a new life of love begun
Long and it's clear, rest easy my dear
In the morning, you'll wake next to me
